Jeff,
I can't see how there would be. Most of the heat is generated at the exhaust
turbine end and exhaust manifold. The compressor housing is alot closer to
the engine mount rubber, but not as close as the pic makes out - ie the
turbo sits back towards the firewall aswell ( the mount is infront of the
compressor housing) - can't see the depth from that image.
cheers,
Adam

Subject: shaving the engine mounts?
Hi Guys,
Well got my gasket and went to put the turbo on and got all the little
bastard water and oil bolts in and then I discovered that the compressor
housing touches the engine mount.

As you can see, it's just touching - the manifold is nearly completely
flush. I'm considering shaving a couple of mm off of the engine mount
(probably 3 or 4mm). Having a look, I can't see how it would effect the
integrity of the mount. Anyone care to let me know if this is a really bad
idea or not?
I don't really want to go for top mount and personally really can't see a
problem in taking a few mm off of the stupid jackass of an engine mount.
cheers,
Adam
